My present invention relates to an improvement in folded'paper packages or cartons, and the princi-pal object thereof is to provide an improved paper package in ,which a commodr'fity. may be dispensed, together with a refrigerant for keeping the temperature of the .commodity low, the construction being such that the.`commodity is retained within insu- "lated Walls to thereby confine the action of 1 l0l the refrigerant yto the preservation of the commodity, and thus increase the efficiency of the package. f

A further object ofmyinvention is to protype set out above vide 'a package of the which may be sealed againstl opening, and which' requires mutilation of the package to gain access to its contents, to-thereby insure against tampering with' the contentsof the package en rout-e, and against reuse of the 20 package'.

.Another object lof the invention is to so` construct thev package that it may be shipped in folded form, to thereby occupy minimum space, the packagebeing so made that it may readily be extended to position for receiving `its contents.

With these and other objects inview', which 'J will become apparent as-the description-pro-l ceeds, the invention .resides in the construction, combination and arrangementv ofv parts hereinafter more fullydescribed and claimed. In the drawings,- Figure l represents a plan view ofthe blank formed.

from which the body Iof the package or box i is formed.

Figure 9 represents a view in perspective of the package ready for transportation, it being noted that the position of the package in Figure 9 is upside down with respect to the position shown in Fig-ure 8, i. e., the top sur- 65 face of the package in Figure 8 becomes its bottom surface iii-Figure 9, and vthe bottom becomes the top surface lFigure 10 represents a longitudinal sec- 70 tional view taken along the line 1,0 -10 of Figure 9.

Figure 11 represents a transverse sectional view along the line 11-l1 of Figure 9, and

Figure l2 represents a transverse sectional 75 view along the line- 12\-12 of Figure 9.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the blank from which the cover "is formed. is made up of what is known as corrugated material, it consisting yof sheets sep- 80 arated by a corrugated partitio 'serpentine in cross section. Such corrugate material is well known, and'serves (admirably the purpose of insulation, desirable in my present 1- package. The'cover blank includes the cover 85 section 5, the side wall sections 6, which flank the cover section,'and which are separated therefrom 'along the scores 7, and end wall aoI 'which the body of the box is to be formed, is

made of paper ofthe desirable thickness, it not being necessary to form thisdportion'of the package'of the corrugated an insulating material.- Such box body blank includes the bottom section B, flanked by side sections 16 which are separated-from the bottom section along scores 17. Each of 'the side' sections are continued to form partition wall sections 18, separated from the side sections along the creases 19. The partition wall sections of one of the side sections 16 falls into the portions or divisions 2() and 21, separated alongN the scoresl 23, wliile the partition wal'l sections of the other side section fallsfinto three parts 24, 25, and 26, respectively, the parts 25 being separated from the parts 24 and 26 along the scores 27 and 28, respectively.

Forming continuations of the bottom section B, are the end flapsections 30, separated from the bottom section along the scores 31. The end flap sections are separated from the partition wall sectionsby the cuts 32, and it will be noted that thesecuts are of a sufficient Width that when the side sections 16 are folded up along the creases 17,'tlie then lower edges of vthe partition wall sections will be above the bottom section a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the corrugated material of which the cover is formed,

and similarly the ends of the end flap sections will be spaced inwardly'from the sides 16 a distance substantially equal to twice' the vthickness of the-mate`rial forming the cover.

The bottom section B is perforated as at 33, to form a mutilatable lid 34, which may `hinge upwardly along one of the creases 17,

it being'necessary, however, before such lid section can be thus moved, to separate it from the vbottom section B along, the lines 'of perfor-ations 33. Opposite the crease or score 17` alongwhich `the lid hinges, the lines of perforations merge-into a semi-circular cut 35-which forms atab 36, vwhich may be raised to initiate the separation ofthe lid fromv the bottom section.

VThe bottom sectionv is longitudinally and centrally scored (i. e., transversely of the i. blank) along the line 37, and Athe'x'end flap sections 30are scored along continuatibns 38 v ofthe score 37 so that the halves of the bottom section will fold upon themselves when the blank is inthe formed and folded position of Figure 3, and the halves-of the end flap sections' may likewise -fold 1upon themselves as therein'indicate'd. l

The cover sections iare ordinarily shipped from the manufacturer to Jthe user vin the blank form shownin Figurel, to he formed Into the cover by the user. The box sections mayl also be shipped in the blank form, but inasmuchV as it is necessary to glue together certain portions of the box section, before the i y ,box is ready for use, the box section 'is preferably formed andfolded at the factory, and

shipped to the customer in its formed and' I folded position indicated in Figure 3. This position is obtained by bending up the sidev sections 16 of the box lblanklalong. the' scores t 17 Then the partition walls may be formed,

bybending thepartsor hinge sections 20 of the partition `wall sections of one side 16 inwardly along the'scores 19, and the parts or hinge sections 24 of theother side section inwardly along the scores 19, then over-lapping the parts 2 of the partition wall sections ofA sections of one side, thus occupy a central position in the vertical plane of the score 37 of l the bottom,mid`way between the sides 16 of the box body. The parts 20 rand 24, respectively, thus form hinge sections-which dispose thepartition walls A comprising the parts 21, 26, and 25) inwardly of the ends of 5, the box may be, compressed "to the dat con*v dition of Figure 3, the partitions folding upon themselves along the scores 28, and the bottom and end flap sections folding upon the box body: From the position of Figure v themselves along the scores 37vand'38, re

spectively. i

When a package is to be used, the formed and folded box body is transposed from the position of Figure 3 to that of Figure 6, byV pullingthe sides out to partially extend the partition walis and the bottom and the end iaps, as indicated in Figure 5, then pressing down on the box to flatten the bottom and end flaps, and then pulling thek partitions out to the-extended position of Figure 6.l An insulating blank 39 (see Figures 6, 10, 11 and 12,)`

is then inserted in 'the body portion of the box, being slipped in on top of the bottom B and engaging between it and the lower edges of the partitions A. 'Such'blank Mmay be I' madefrom the same materialas that from dwhich the cover is formed, and in width,

substantially equals the width of the bottom B. In length the insulating blank is pref- `erably slightly longer than the distance be tween-the partitions'A in the extended box, and may be slightly longer than the multilatable lid 34'. The body portion of the box is now completed by folding up the en'd sections 3()v along the scores 31,'thus taking,

the condition indicated in Figure 7, in which vcondition it is ready to receive the coml modity, and its refrigerant. ,I y It can here'be noted that my present package' may be used for dispensing commodities such as ice-cream, or c rab meat, or shrimp, or other like commodities which preferably are kept cool. The central space of the box receives such commodity.A The `refrigerant .that may be used, it is anticipated, may take the form-of blocks of what Ais known as diy i,747,9so

i ice. The end compartments, i. e., the spaces folding the side wall beyond the partitions, are to receive this -refrigerant. It is possible that ice may also be used as a refrigerant.

The cover is formed from the blank condition ofvFigure 1 to that of Figure 7, by sections 6 up along the scores 7, and similarly folding the side insert strips 10 upwardly along the scores 11 and the end insert strips 13 upwardly along the scores 14. The end Wall sections, carrying their insert strips 10 and 13, may then be folded inwardly -along the scores 9, as indiand by then sliding the cover down until its lower edgesV rest against the insulating blanlr 39, adjacent the -edges yofI the latter. The

' end wall sections of the cover are then folded -in to take the position indicated in Figure 8,

theside insertstrips 10 slipping in against the inner faces of the hinge sections 20 and 24, thereby locking them against the side g wall sections 6 of the cover, and the end insert strips 13 slipping in against the upper faces ofthe end flapsections 30, thereby locking such end iap sections against the outer faces of the partitions and against the end edges of the insulating blank 39 (see Figure 10, in which the package is upside down with reference. to Figures 7 and 8, i. e., in

run around `the end edges of the cover, or either one lof these methods may be position for carrying).

The box may then be sealed, if desired, by bridging one or both of the upperl edges of the `side 16 of thebox body with the upper surface o-f the cover by means of a sealing strip 40, as indicated in dotted lines in Figure 8. Also ,if desired, a sealing strip may be box and used. Preferably, however, I seal the package, 'and retain it proof against access, save by multilation, by the use of a continuous cord 41, which, at its ends, is provided with.

anchors 42 disposed on the inside of the,end compartments, as indicated in Figure 10. To

" this end the bottom section B, adjacent its ends; the end iiap sections 30, and the insert strip sections 13, are provided with small perforations 43, which, when thev package is completely formed and lilled, as indicated in Figure 8, register with each other. In

order to fasten the cord, the package is turned Y upside down from the completed position of Figure 8, to theposition of Figure t-he anchor 42 at one end of the cord being then inserted through the registering perforations 4dle'whereby the box ma package (bein lindicated in F 43 at one end of the box 4and the cord being drawn along the outside of the box and lthe anchor at the other end of the cord. being similarly inserted through the registering perforations near the other end of the box. These anchors having been inserted, cannot be removed without mutilating the cord or the box. At the same time, there is justsuf tcient slack in the cord for it to form a han'- `be conveniently carried. The reversal of tY 1e box thus brings its bottom uppermost and its top'lowermost, and brings the lid 34 onto the top of the box. When the box has been delivered and is ready for opening, the cord may be snipped, the linger inserted under the tab 36, to initiate the separation of the lid from the box, .and then the lid may be folded upwardly, being drawn away from the bottom along the line of perforations. This operation exposes the insulating blank 39, and this blank may then be removed, to give access to the contents of the package.

It will be observed that during this operation of gaining access to the package, the com! partments at the ends of the package which contain the refrigerant are left undisturbed, it being unnecessary to handle the refriger-I ant at all, so that no soiling of the hands,or the use. of im lements in the removal of al refrigerant be ore the contents are available, is necessitated. It will be noted that the package may not again be used, without knowledge of its prior use being conveyed by the mutilation of thepackage, and it is against access, sealing'strips or the sealing cord have been applied. f

It is further of interest to note that the in condition for delivery, as igure 10), has an insulated wall at its bottom' formed by the top of"`the former cover, insulated Walls at its sides formed by the sides ofthe former cover, an insulated wall at its top, by insulating blank 39, and-,in remainder by the end insert strips 13, and hasinsulated walls at `its ends, formed by the end'wall sections 8. Hence the action of the reffigerantwill be confined, in--high degree, to the` interior of the' package. It is also 'noteworthy that the insulating blank will be retained in place by the -partition walls and by the over-lapping edges of the end flaps' strued as broadly as permissible, in view of f the prior art.
